PEACE WANTED, JUSTICE NEEDED!

[👋🙋💃 Hi! Don't understand English? You can read this page in French, Spanish, Russian, etc..Go to Home. Click Menu. Click Translate and choose your language. Have a great read!]

Peace has been a most essential want of man in all ages of this world’s existence. The state of tranquility and nonviolence has been the desire of men since time immemorial. The realization of a peaceful state of being has been the pursuit of a great majority of the world’s citizens. From the family to the community, the marketplace, the corporate organizations, to the government, the desire for peace is just as strong. The realization of peace has been recognized as the most important factor to sustainable development, progress, prosperity, good health and longevity of human lives and their environment.If peace were a criminal on a security most wanted list, there will no doubt be a huge reward given to whoever could present it or give information that will secure its arrest. The world is in a frantic search for peace and it seems the more elusive as time passes. It was for the sake of fostering peaceful existence between nations of the world that the United Nations Organization was founded, but seventy one years down the line that great aim is yet to be achieved. We should therefore ask ourselves the critical question why peace has become so hard to come by. It is a big question whose answer the world already knows but fails to employ.

Justice is the ideal of fairness and impartiality in human dealings and relationships. Justice allows everyone access to their rights and privileges without discrimination or bias. Justice ensures that resources are shared fairly across board. Justice spells out punishment for violations of the principles of fairness and ensures that everyone takes responsibility for their actions. An egalitarian society is made only by the practice of justice. Human conflicts arise when justice is denied or delayed, and therefore justice is required to achieve a peaceful state of being among individuals and bring about a peaceful society. Today’s world has a big problem of injustice. There is little or no fair play in human relationships and this in turn has led to strife, anger, wrath and a whole lot of chain reactions.

We live in a world where people are discriminated against and denied their rights and privileges based on their skin color, their race, their language, their religious beliefs, and so forth. Those discriminated against become frustrated and vent out their feelings through angry protests and violent actions. Hence, injustice is the greatest cause of the world’s troubles and lack of peace. It is therefore important to note that sustainable peace can only be achieved by the practice of justice. We are in a very serious need for justice, though we have spent all our time in a frantic search for peace instead of justice.

World peace will remain a mirage as long as the principles of justice are not followed. A nation can never achieve peace when equitable distribution and management of resources are not implemented. A family can have no peace when some members cannot have equal share of affection. Things only take shape and peace returns when we nib injustice in the bud. We should be interested in knowing why this world is full of injustice. The answer is simple and is to be found in the fact that the world has deviated from the plan of its creator. Men have since spurned the Creator and disregarded His order of justice. A just God made man in His own image (Genesis 1:26-28), and foreordained that man will exercise justice in all his deeds to his fellow men and all other creations. God’s intention for world peace is evident in the fact that He made man to dwell in the garden of Eden, a paradise of peace (Genesis 2:8).

However, Satan the enemy of God and man, came into the picture and deviously got man to go against God’s order. He introduced greed into man’s consciousness and taught him how to cheat and harm his fellow man. Hence, man engaged in sinful acts, going against justice, and this led to the loss of peace (Galatians 5:19-21). The consequences of sin caused man many troubles. Firstly, man lost peace with God having gone against His order of justice by engaging in sin. Secondly, man lost peace with himself, for he was no longer in harmony with his conscience. Thirdly, man lost peace with his fellow man and even with his environment. This indeed was the genesis of the world’s crisis. Sin is the cause of the world’s problems.

A just, but loving God sought to restore peace to mankind once again by instituting an act of spectacular justice to redeem man. Justice demands that a violator of its order must face the penalty of such violation and for this reason, all men were condemned to the fate of eternal death and damnation, eternal sorrow and pain, and a total absence of peace. God in His magnanimity, gave His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to bear the judgment due to us and to restore peace to us again.

Thus, Jesus Christ, the Prince of peace, the Justice of God, is the solution the world needs. In Jesus Christ, we have peace with God, peace with ourselves, and peace with our fellow man. We can have a world where peace is no more a mirage but a reality if we all let the Prince of peace, Jesus Christ, to reign and lead us in the path of peace.It is only when we have peace with God and submit to all His just orders that we can practice justice, holiness, and in turn achieve peace in our relationship with our fellow men. God’s just order requires that we do unto others what we want to be done to us (Matthew 7:12). We can no longer cheat nor harm others because we will treat them they way we want to be treated. If we would not like to be discriminated against by reason of our skin color or gender, we will therefore not discriminate against others. Imagine a world where everyone treats the other they way they would like to be treated, it certainly would be a peaceful world, and that is possible only as men yield their lives to the Prince of peace and are filled with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Today’s world lacks peace because it has looked to every other thing except the Prince of peace who can give it peace. He has promised to give us peace if we look up to Him (John 14:27).

The standards of our justice must be based on God’s perfect standard of justice to secure us our earnest desire for peace. If we do not teach our children the moral standards based on God’s word and also show them practically how to live a just and peaceful life, we will be setting them up for a problematic future. Our security and legal system, which are very overstretched at this moment, will be greatly helped if every one understood and practiced justice.

There is therefore a greater need for advocacy to be carried out to educate on the standards of justice rather than the advocacy for peace which is common place. That advocacy must be God-centered to point people to the Creator’s perfect order. If we ensure we have a just world, we will achieve a peaceful world. Let us start by a personal practice of justice by doing unto others what we would want them to do to us. If we want to have peace, we need to have justice!

People who know anything about cooking, baking, pastry making and juice or wine making, will tell you the absolute importance of getting the right proportion of ingredients to blend and bring out the desirable taste of any food or drink. In many other aspects of production, getting the right proportions is a key focus of the process engineering. While this is true for industrial or domestic manufacture processes, it is also true and a vital element in the making of successful human relationships. The elements of human interaction must come into place in the right proportions for a desirable purpose to be achieved. A little less or a little more of one element can give a very different flavor than desirable.

There are two very important elements of human relationships which need to be present to make a s…

When an accused person stands trial before a Judge in the law court, one of the things done in the course of his trial is that he or she is given a chance to agree with the charges as brought against him or to deny it. The question often put forth to the accused person is this "Are you guilty of these charges or not?" His response is often very critical to the sentence he gets. He may get a reduced sentence if he owns up to his wrong doing and accept that he is guilty. Let us imagine that we are also standing trial in the court of heaven and our eternal destiny is to be decided but many allegations have been levelled against us by our accuser, the devil. Those sinful things we have done are brought against us, and we are asked that question "Are you guilty of these charges or not?" What would our answer be? Friends, though this can only be imagined now, the Bible tells us that after we die, we must face judgment to be rewarded according to the things we did, wheth…

“Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh” – Matthew 18:7.[👋🙋💃 Hi! Don't understand English?

I have had the prompting for some weeks now to put forward this question to everyone and to discuss the topic it addresses, but I have had a lot of heart searching because on few occasions when I had attempted to do so, I had met with rebuffs and I have heard these words many times, “it is none of your business what I wear”. I risk being seen as carnal by some “spiritual” Christians who feel they are not affected by this matter I wish to consider. I wish to speak the truth though blunt I may be. However bitter the truth may be, it is the only medicine that can cure human malady. Evil thrives in society when people ignore it and turn a blind eye. Darkness can on…

Have you ever been a guest at a party thrown by a king or president of a country? No doubt, you would have many stories to tell of the exquisite decors that adorned the auditorium, the mouthwatering delicacies that were served and the ecstatic feeling of dining with the “who is who” of society. Well, maybe you have not yet been in such feast hosted by a royalty, but if you have been in a rich man’s feast, you may have a partial feeling of what I just described.

You may be like me, who have attended such festivities through the screens of our televisions as we watched every detail of the party beamed to our television screens at home with rapt attention wishing we could be there physically to savor such delight. There may be very many people who know what a king’s feast is like only through the means of …

It is my firm persuasion that people will avoid so many problems of life if only they took a little time to read the Holy Bible, the manual of Life. You will not get the best of any equipment if you do not consult its operational manual, in fact, you will eventually damage the equipment if you fail to consult and follow the instructions in the manual. It is the same with life; we will avoid so much pain and heartache if we only paid attention to reading and living our lives according to the directions that God, our maker, has put down for us in the Holy Bible. One of the critical issues of life that has brought so many people pain and heartache instead of the happiness and joy it should bring, has been the issue of love. More often than not, the issues that develop out of the love relationship between people have come to show that not all that glitters is gold. There is a “love” which is not love, it is fake and cannot deliver the benefits that real love can give. A good study of our…

I listened to a radio program some time ago and the topic of the discussion was the relevance of prophecies in our time considering the number of prophets who release their prophetic declarations for the year at the beginning of every year.[👋🙋💃 Привет!

I was concerned that a majority of what was said by the presenters was to put down prophecies as being an unnecessary thing to give any consideration. It was obvious those radio presenters did not really understand what they were talking about. It may be that many people do not appreciate the necessity of prophecy for our lives today, this is why I invite you to join me as we examine why we need prophecy today.

”Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and all they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and everyone an earring of gold. So The LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses” (Job 42:11-12).[👋🙋💃 Hi!

The story of the ancient patriarch, Job is an awe inspiring one, and full of very important lessons to help us today. We are told of Job’s exemplary lifestyle from the first chapter and verse of the book of Job in the Bible. Born in the land of Uz, Job was a regular man like anyone …

The Scriptures of the Holy Bible are full of pronouncements of God’s favour over His people. This fact more than
all else demonstrates the desire and readiness of the Almighty God to do mankind good. Indeed His thoughts towards us are thoughts of good and not evil (Jeremiah 29:11 ), for we are His most prized creation. It is worthy of note, also, that the scriptures not only have the pronouncements of God’s good intentions and purposes for us, but also show how we may access all these benefits. Psalms 1:1-6 is one of those scriptures that shows us how we may access all of God’s blessing for our lives.
